Madam Speaker, I am going to try it again. My question is not an issue that is discussed in the papers before the committee of the whole. My question to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs is as follows. Madam Speaker, many Members of this House have past experience working with hamlets and municipalities. They well know the budget cycle, preparing budgets for the coming fiscal year in late fall, January and February. The Minister is also aware that budgets are set long before the end of March. Why did the Minister wait until the final week of March to announce the changes to the water and sewer subsidy after municipal budgets were well developed and in place? Thank you.
